Houston Porter
I relish food and yearn to learn about where our food comes from, who raises and harvests it, and the chefs that then bring its flavors to life. I have an appreciation for all foods but have a deep-seated respect for the idea of farm-to-fork cuisine. My aim, through my writing, radio appearance, and website guides, is to help educate people about where their food comes from while also opening their eyes to new and old cuisine alike.
